Reader Review of the Week: 2008 Honda Accord
This week, a tall, demanding car buyer has found something that finally fits: the 2008 Honda Accord. The reason this Pennsylvania native wins the nod this week is that he goes through the reasons why his previous purchases of a Camry and 2007 Accord weren’t right for his large frame. He also points out some pros and cons that are unique to him. You can leave your own reader review for all to see here.
“Here's my story. I loved my 2003 Camry, but a gal on a cell phone in a snowstorm hit me head-on. A 2007 and up Camry has less headroom than a 2002-2006 Camry and it didn't fit my long torso ... so I bought a 2007 Accord for the headroom last year. The 2007 Accord was a very uncomfortable car with narrow, hard front seats. So after 12 months and 15,000 miles, I traded it in for a new 2008 Accord LX-P. The difference in comfort for my body size is amazing.
I have 1,000 miles on it and like it as much as I disliked the 2007 ... it pays to take a LONG test drive. For me, the new Camry wasn't an option because of the headroom, even though I think overall Toyota is a better manufacturer. Honda has odd options (or lack thereof). I can't get an outside temperature gauge on a 2008 LX-P, even though I could get it dealer-installed on the 2007 LX! In the northeast that's important, so I just installed an aftermarket unit in the glove box. Honda needs to talk to me for its focus groups!”

I am with ya, my Civic EX has it, my mom's Accord EX has it(But she cannot have fog light due to that)
So how come it is not offer on the 08?
I recently bought 2008 Accord EX. I absolutely love the car. Allthough I sometimes feel that when I am idling at a traffic light and the AC is switched ON, you can feel the fan switching ON. And I dont mean the sound(which is normal), but u actually can feel a jerk as if the engine r.p.m increases. Has anybody else experienced it??
Check this out. I have installed this aftermaket Mito mirror on my 2008 accord LX. Contact Moto and request the dealer at your area for professional installed or you can do it yourself.
There are several different models but one of
the ones with the outside gauge is the 50-GENK20A model.
